Are stainless firebacks safe for use in a fireplace with glass doors?
1 Answer
Because stainless firebacks radiate a great deal of heat, I do not recommend using them in a fireplace with the glass doors closed. The intense direction of heat could cause the glass to overheat and shatter.

Can these be used with gas fireplaces that are vented through a chimney? Can they be painted with heat resistant paint and used as the sides along with glass doors?
1 Answer
These firebacks can indeed be used with a vented fireplace. Painting the fireback is possible, but will require you to prep it by wiping it down with a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar to clean off any machine oil. The fireback must then be sanded with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper to roughen the surface. High heat paint must then be applied in several light, even coats.
